As you walk down the Green-wood Gardens Arena hallway along the locker rooms, you will hear a few nervous giggles coming from Locker Room #5.

Inside are women of all ages and backgrounds, putting on hockey gear they’ve either borrowed from their children or a friend, bought at a used sports equipment store – or they’re putting it on again for the fi rst time since they were teenagers.

After noticing there seemed to be a number of women wanting to try hockey but feeling intimidated, Major Ilse VanOostrum requested ice time from the Personnel Sup-port Program and the assis-

An April 7 event will honour seven living Avro Lancaster Second World War aircrew members and one production line worker at the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum.

14 Wing Greenwood Com-mander Colonel Pat Thauber-ger and Colonel (retired) Brian Handley, president and chief executive offi cer of the mu-seum, will preside at 11 a.m., as the inductees are included in the museum’s Lancaster Living Legends program, which recognizes the contri-butions of surviving Second World War aircrew members and support personnel with hand-signed metal plaques engraved with their service details, then riveted inside the museum’s static Lancaster display aircraft.

Three honorees will attend, while others will be repre-sented by family and friends. Two former inductees will also be present.

Inductees include Viola “Lola” Videto of Nictaux, a

Lancaster Mk X riveter be-tween April 1943 and Septem-ber 1945; Clifford J. Roach of Yarmouth, a Lancaster mid upper gunner with 28 opera-tional missions between May 1941 and August 1945; Rus-sell F. Hubley DFC, Halifax, a Lancaster mid upper gunner with 60 operational missions between August 1942 and September 1945 ; and Roy Morrison, Truro, a Lancaster tail gunner with (30 opera-tional missions.

Lancaster heavy bombers were the mainstay of the Royal Air Force’s Bomber Com-mand, formed in 1936 but put through a gauntlet of night-fl ying missions over Europe through the Second World War. Crews came from all corners of the Commonwealth and a number of occupied na-tions. In all, 55,573 air crew died fl ying on runs targeting enemy infrastructure, industry and shipping, and also on civilian relief drops; through the Second World War.

serving. Although the group is assorted, the women’s rea-sons for joining the camp are mostly the same: they wanted to get out of the house and do something active. Why not play hockey?

Ice time over the past few months has since developed the women enough they thought they were ready for their fi rst game. March 26, it all became reality, as Julien-Foster made arrangements to play the Lawrencetown Shin-diggers. Group member Tracy O’Keefe found antique home/ away jerseys with “Bombers”

across the front and, during the game, husbands volun-teered to referee, run the clock and watch the kids. Not having any aspirations of winning, the group competed in its first exhibition game and came out with a 2-1 win! The group is now called “Lady Bombers,” and it will be competing in its fi rst four-on-four tournament April 1.

Due to the success of the program, it will most likely continue next season with the hope more women will join the camp. Until the ice is out later in May, the Lady Bombers will continue to lace up their skates and play hockey.

The ladies’ dressing room is home to an assorted collection of women of varying hockey skills – and gear!

The group March 30, following their first-ever hockey game and win March 27.

Joint Task Force Iraq’s Long Range Patrol Detach-ment reached a major mile-stone February 28, when it carried out its 700th mission since beginning operations in the region in late 2014.

The detachment has two CP140 Aurora long range patrol aircraft that conduct Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mis-sions over points of interest in Iraq and Syria. A point of interest is a specifi c location that may be assessed as useful or of interest in the identifi cation of a potential legitimate military target and which may or not become a target itself.

While all possible mea-sures to mitigate risk are taken, any mission over en-emy territory is not without risks. For the CP140 crews, their missions take them over

a variety of potential Daesh targets. The work is meticu-lous and can be painstaking with each mission lasting for hours as information on particular points of interest is collected for further analysis. The end state comes when an enemy target is clearly identi-fi ed and, after all due process is followed, then engaged by coalition assets.

“These flights show the resilience and versatility of the CP140 and its crews,” said Colonel Luc Guillette, Commander of Operation Impact’s Air Task Force. “By fl ying these demanding mis-sions on a daily basis, we have denied Daesh freedom of movement and helped to wear them down to the point where they are today.”

Since October 30, 2014, the coalition has employed two CP140 Aurora aircraft. Flying within the area of op-erations, the aircraft employs electro optic sensors, as well as various other sensors to provide ISR imagery for coali-tion strike assets and target development. The CP140 aircraft and crews generally fl y six or seven days a week.

The choir is honoured and excited to attend this event, but now needs community support to make this happen.

Fundraising projects, in-cluding a series of perfor-mances, are in the works for the next few months: April 6, there will be a paint night at the Annapolis Mess; April 15, there will be a bake sale at the New Beginnings Centre, Greenwood; April 23, the choir joins the 14 Wing Band in concert at the Morfee Cen-tre gym; May 6, there will be a ticket auction at the RCAFA Wing 107, Greenwood; there is a private concert scheduled

“We are actively fundrais-ing to sing at the opening ceremonies of the Invictus Games Toronto 2017 be-cause we believe in our soldiers; we believe in our country, we believe in our spouses; we believe in our-selves,” says Mercedes Du-moulin, a choir member. ”We are just a small percentage of the people who support the

Greenwood community.“We are in no way funded

by, nor do we expect to receive funding from, the Canadian military.“

Canadian Military Wives Choirs are organizations with a mission to bring women of the military community closer through singing, pro-moting resiliency and cre-ating networks of mutual support. The fi rst Canadian Military Wives Choir formed in Ottawa in 2013, based on the hugely successful British Military Wives Choir model. The goal eventually is to see a choir established on every base across the country. The Greenwood choir is one of

United Kingdom and the United States operated from Sigonella Air Base, under the control of Commander, Mari-time Air NATO. This included one CP140 Aurora aircraft and crew from 405 (Long Range Patrol) Squadron, 14 Wing Greenwood.

The aim of this exercise was to provide all partic-ipants with complex and challenging warfare training to enhance their interoper-

ability and profi ciency in anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare skills.

Each surface ship had the opportunity to conduct a variety of submarine warfare operations. The submarines took turns hunting - and being hunted, closely coor-dinating their efforts with air and surface participants.

“NATO’s annual ant i-submarine-warfare exercise Dynamic Manta remains one

of the most challenging ex-ercises and an excellent op-portunity for NATO nations’ naval forces to practice and evaluate their anti-submarine skill set in a challenging environment,” said NATO Maritime Air Commander Commodore Andreas Vettos, Hellenic Navy.

Host nation Italy provided support from the Augusta Naval Base, Catania Harbour and the Sigonella Air Base in Catania. Sicilian Maritime Command supported the

exercise assets during their operational port visit in Au-gusta and Catania harbours, in order to provide them logistic support.

Exercise Dynamic Manta was also supported by an In-Stride Debriefing Team (IDT), consisting of 11 ASW experts from nine nations, working from Naval Air Sta-tion Sigonella. This team reconstructed and analysed all the ASW events, bringing together operational data from all participants. The analysis results were sent to ships, submarines and aircrew within 24 hours.

The life of a military child is an ever changing adven-ture, fi lled with a unique set of challenges most of their friends have never - nor will ever have to - experience. From frequent moves to deal-ing with the challenges of a deployed parent, military chil-dren are their own “subject matter experts” in navigating their unique lifestyle.

April is the Month of the Military Child, a month that acknowledges the sacrifi ces and resilience of military chil-dren. The dandelion fl ower is the offi cial fl ower of the mili-tary child because of its ability

sont les spécialistes de leur propre mode de vie hors normes.

Avril est le mois des en-fants de militaires, durant lequel on reconnaît leurs sa-crifi ces et leur résilience. Le pissenlit est la fl eur offi cielle des enfants de militaires en raison de sa capacité d’éclore même dans les environne-

ments les plus diffi ciles.Le Centre de ressources

pour les familles des mili-taires de Greenwood célè-brera les enfants des mili-taires de la BFC/14e Escadre Greenwood dans la commu-nauté, en dédiant une salle très spéciale du CRFMG à la force et à la résilience des enfants des nos militaires. Nous invitons toutes les familles à se joindre à nous pour l’inauguration offi cielle du Salon du pissenlit, qui sera suivie d’un souper piz-za, le mercredi 19 avril, à 17 h. Soyez au rendez-vous!

Puis, le dimanche 23 avril, à 14 h, le CRFMG présentera un concert en l’honneur du mois des enfants de militaires, dirigé par la mu-

sique de la 14e Escadre. Des invités spéciaux seront présents : le club de théâtre de Greenwood et la cho-rale des conjointes de mi-litaires de Greenwood. Au programme, la musique d’Harry Potter, de la Reine des Neiges, de Shrek, de Star Wars et plus encore. Le concert est ouvert au public en échange d’une contri-bution libre à l’appui des programmes du CRFMG. Le spectacle se tiendra au gym-nase du centre Morfee, che-min School, à Greenwood.

Le mois des enfants de militaires a été instauré en 1986 par Caspar Weinberger, secrétaire à la Défense des États-Unis.

Selon le rapport de l’Ombudsman de la Défense nationale de 2013, « Sur le front intérieur », il y a une « recherche scientifi que qui renforce la théorie selon la-quelle les enfants de militaires dans des écoles peuplées d’enfants militaires et civils peuvent se sentir isolés et ostracisés, en partie parce que leurs expériences ne sont pas bien comprises par le personnel scolaire et leurs pairs ». Dans certains cas, cette situation peut aussi avoir une incidence sur la scolarité des enfants, et beaucoup d’entre eux sont obligés de faire du rattrapage.

Sur le plan de la santé, les enfants de militaires en déploiement pourraient présenter des problèmes phy-siques, notamment un stress accru, des problèmes de sommeil et plus du double de cas d’autres malaises par rapport aux enfants du même âge au sein de la population civile.

Souvent, lorsqu’un parent revient d’un déploiement, cela peut prendre beaucoup de temps aux familles pour retrouver leur équilibre pré-déploiement.

La direction et les organisations des Forces armées canadiennes s’emploient à répondre aux besoins des enfants. Des ressources sont disponibles sur une pano-plie de sujets, d’astuces sur les façons de subvenir aux besoins de jeunes enfants pendant les déploiements, à la recherche de services de santé mentale appropriés, si nécessaire.

a concert celebrating April is the Month of the Military Child, led by the 14 Wing Band, with special guests the Greenwood Players and the Greenwood Mil i tary Wives Choir Greenwood. The concert fea-tures music from Harry Potter, Frozen, Shrek, Star Wars and more. The concert is open to the public, with a freewill offering in support of GMFRC pro-

grams. The show will be held at the Morfee Centre gym, School Road, Greenwood.

The month of the Military Child started in 1986, intro-duced by Caspar Weinberger, United States Secretary of Defence.

According to the Canadian Vanier Institute of the Fam-ily, 75 per cent of military couples have children; there are currently 500,000 children of military members or veterans. The average serving member spends 25 per cent of the time away from home.

The 2013 Ombudsman of National Defence Report, On The Homefront, acknowledged “scientifi c research reinforcing the theory that military children in schools populated by military and civilian children can often feel isolated and ostracized, in part because their experiences are not well understood by educators and peers.” In certain cases, it can also affect the child’s education, and many children are forced to play catch-up.

From a health perspective, children of deployed mili-tary members may experience physical issues, including increased stress, sleeping problems and more than double the rate of occurrence of other ailments com-pared to similar children within the civilian population.

Often, when a parent returns from the deployment, it can take a considerable length of time for families to return back to a pre-deployment state and relationships.

Canadian Armed Forces leadership and organiza-tions are addressing the needs of children. Resources are available on a range of topics, from tips on how to support young children during deployments to fi nding appropriate mental health services, if needed.

What better time than Spring to dust off those sneakers and start being physically active? Spring Into Action is an annual chal-lenge Horizons Community Development Associates Inc. issues to colleagues, friends and families. This year, it takes place April 10 to May 21. The goal of the challenge is for participants to achieve at least 30 minutes of physical activity, fi ve days each week of the six-week challenge.

There are opportunities for every team and individual to win great weekly prizes by achieving this goal. To be eli-gible for prizes, all individuals and members on a team must meet this goal. At the end of the challenge, there will be draws for grand prizes for

an individual and for a team who met the goal for every week of the challenge. The individual grand prize is $100, to be used toward something related to physical activity (e.g., new running shoes, swim passes, family outings to the gym). The team grand prize is a $150 donation made by Horizons (in the winning team’s name) to a local sports or recreation fund for kids chosen by the winning team.

Step 1: Get your team to-gether. You may want to include co-workers, friends and family members, or it can be just yourself.

Step 2: Decide on a team name and identify a team captain, register your team members and collect and submit your team’s informa-

tion each week. Please note: Your team may have up to 10 members (including the team captain). If you have more than 10 people interested, you may want to consider dividing into two teams and having a little competition! You may also want to consider, with smaller teams, it is easier to keep each other motivated and meet the goal each week, increasing your chances of winning prizes. As well, it is easier for the team captain to collect the team data for

submission each Monday.Step 3: Visit horizonscda.

ca/sia.php for more informa-tion.

Step 4: Register your team at horizonscda.ca/sia.html, or contact Vicki at sia@hori-zonscda.ca.. The deadline for registrations is April 10.

Vis i t us on Facebook at facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=139535450482#/pages/Horizons-Spring-Into-Action/139535450482 to share your successes and ideas for physical activity!
